WordPress continues to dominate the content management systems (CMS) market and is currently used by 64.2% of websites with a CMS, according to data from W3Techs.com.

Shopify is a distant second for June 2022 and accounts for 6.3% of the CMS market.

Wix, Squarespace, and Joomla are the top five with less than 3.5% market share each.

W3Techs said 33.1% of websites do not use any of the content management systems they monitor.

WordPress is therefore used by 43% of all websites, and 64.2% of those with a recognizable CMS.
